A Model for Pre-Employment Preparation
The Public Child Welfare Certification Program (PCWCP) has
been implemented by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services and
eleven university undergraduate social work programs in order to better serve
the children and families in this state.
The goal of this program is to fill the ranks of Child Welfare Workers with the
most competent and well-trained workers who can provide high quality services
immediately following employment. The Cabinet has partnered with the
Universities to offer Bachelor Social Work juniors and seniors their academic
program in conjunction with participating in the Cabinet's child welfare
training curricula prior to graduation. These students are provided
instate tuition, a stipend and must complete a two year employment commitment
with the Cabinet upon successful completion of the program.
